12 JANUARY 24-30, 2015 | DENVER CATHOLIC Father Anthony of the Transfiguration, of the Community of the Beatitudes, blessed a new Catholic men's home called Frassati House this month. The Frassati House is a place of community and strength by which the members living there find support and acceptance as they experience the academic vigor at the Colorado School of Mines. More importantly the community will strive to strengthen their Catholic faith, per- sonal relationship with God, and pursuit of virtue. Father Anthony is pictured here, relaxing with some of the Frassati House residents. Photo provided Parishioners of St. Catherine of Siena responded to a refugee crisis in Africa by collecting $12,000 for the religious Community of the Beatitudes in Cen- tral African Republic. Brother Yeelen Waongo, superior of the Community of the Beatitudes in Bangui, received an award from the secretary of state of defense in CRA, thanking him for his assistance during the trying times. It's considered an award to all of the com- munity for their support. Bishop Machebeuf High School is pleased to announce daily bus service for students on select routes beginning with the 2015-2016 school year. Two routes will be available for students living in south metro Denver: one will originate from St. Thomas More Parish in Centennial, and another from St. Francis Cabrini Parish in Littleton. The routes include a stop at Our Lady of Lourdes in Denver. Buses will arrive at Machebeuf at 8:10 a.m. and leave at 2:45 p.m. The cost will be $250 per student per semester. Check out these happy students of Bu"alo Nation riding the Machebeuf bus. Photo provided We were reminded by a regular reader of George Weigel's column "The Catho- lic Di"erence" about the influence (call it the Weigel Bump) of our longtime columnist. While browsing on Amazon, considering buying "Notes from the Underground" by Roger Scruton, based on Weigel's recent Christmas reading list (Denver Catholic Register, Dec. 3), he noticed at the bottom of the Amazon page a row of other books bought by people who bought Scruton's book. Lo and behold, the row contained four of the other books mentioned in his sug- gested reading list. Students from Holy Family High School welcomed the temporary residents at Holy Rosary Overnight Emergency Shelter with a mural of Our Lady of Gua- dalupe. Art teacher Toni Verretta, three honors art students, Jaelyn Larson, Ali Alderman and Grace Sammoury, assisted by George Heiney, painted the mural of the Virgin Mary, pictured here, on a wall at Holy Rosary. The mural was created at the request of Catholic Charities. The students asked to do the mural are not only in honors art, but are also execu- tives of the HFHS Art Club: Alderman, president; Sammoury, vice president; and Larson, treasurer. Photo provided A temporary women's shelter opened on the property of Holy Rosary Catho- lic Parish earlier this month for single women who are experiencing home- lessness. Catholic Charities reminds us that 36 percent of the total homeless population in Denver is made up of single women. The Holy Rosary Over- night Emergency Shelter is located in the Denver's Globeville neighborhood at 4664 Pearl St., and provides nightly temporary shelter for up to 100 women, as well as daily transportation to and from the shelter, and an evening meal and a hot breakfast at the Samaritan House. You may have noticed that Denver Cath- olic is sporting not only a new name, but also a new look. Thanks to the hard work, dedication and perseverance of our resident graphic artist Filippo Pic- cone, Denver Catholic is looking good for being almost 115! You are a miracle worker, Filippo. It's Catholic Schools Week. Have you hugged a school today? Do you want to send a Shout Out to someone who has done something worth Shouting Out? If you do, send an email to DenverCatholic@archden.org. It would be nice if you put "Shout Out" in the sub- ject line, but we'll get it either way.

Jorge De los Santos TV MASS FOR THE HOMEBOUND Catholic house at Mines blessed; the Weigel Bump The day we all came out to pray for life January 17 was the March for Life Colorado, but before that was the annual anniversary Mass that marks the 1973 Supreme Court decision Roe v. Wade that legalized abortion in this country. We want to recognize in a particular way those who attended Mass at the cathedral, and there were a lot of you. The church was packed, as you can see in this photo, but we didn't let that get in the way of making it a particularly powerful and prayerful moment to remember all the lost lives, and to storm heaven for an end to abortion. Those who ask will receive, we continue to believe. Photo by Je„rey Bruno/Denver Catholic
